Description
This Sanden SD6V12 air conditioning compressor is designed for use in a range of Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, including models such as the 206, 307, Berlingo, Partner, C2, C3, Xsara, and Xsara Picasso. It is a crucial component in the vehicle’s climate control system, responsible for compressing and circulating refrigerant to maintain efficient air conditioning performance.
The compressor features a 6-rib pulley with a diameter of 119 mm and is secured by 4 mounting holes, ensuring steady and reliable installation. It is filled with PAG 46 oil, with a capacity of 135 ml, which is essential for lubrication and the longevity of the compressor components.
